This repository contains a set of programming puzzles that are solved using Kotlin language (hints, solutions tests and useful links are here as well). Purpose of this repository is to help you to practice and develop strong problem-solving skills. This will help you to become better programmer and improve you chance of getting new job, by passing whiteboard coding interview.
Each puzzle is located in separate package and it contains of 3 files (screen):
Puzzle.md
- description of the task.Puzzle.kt
- empty method/class where puzzle should be solved. This file also contains a set of JUnit tests.PuzzleSolution.kt
- file that contains solutions.
Keep in mind that each puzzle will usually have more than one solution. Even simple puzzle like String reversal can be solved in 10 different ways. Usually, we compare various solutions using (Big O notation) to determine space/time complexity and we look at code readability.
Puzzles below are segregated by different difficulty. If you want to solve puzzles by problem type, please check this section.
Some puzzle may contain a reference to other puzzles that should be solved before to have better understanding of the problem. To succeed you need to practice often, repeat same puzzles multiple times and be persistent over time. Take your time before you take a look at the presented solution. Good luck!
